The Unique
Affair Kennedy
Can Do
(肯尼迪唯一能做的事情)

the target that Democratic Party members censured(正式语，非难).

see a mature
person lead the United States." Kennedy
responded to him :" In the
eyes of a 78-year

be little younger. If the USA embraces
mistrustful attitude to those
who are under 44, it would
clog(=obstruct) necessarily Jefferson from
drafting the Declaration of Independence, keep
Washington from leading Independent War, prevent Madison from
formulating (制订，确切表达)the Constitution, and even keep
Columbus from discovering the New Continent!"

felt melancholy （忧郁的，沮丧的）all day long .

must you attend the

do."

肯尼迪这次还是落选了，终日郁郁寡欢，他的妹夫问：“你为什么非要参加折磨人的竞选不可呢？”肯尼迪回答：“因为这是我唯一能做的事情。”
